The Royal College of Anaesthetist's National Audit Projects (NAP) are frequently fascinating and always important, here we get a look at NAP7, which will examine Perioperative Cardiac Arrest. The conversation also explores the Sprint National Anaesthesia Projects (SNAP) organised by the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia.
